I ordered a Raspberry Pi 5 so I have a Pi 3 that’s about to be redundant. I haven’t used Pi-Hole so I was thinking it’d be good for that but I’m curious if there’s any downsides for users. Are sites blocked if you dont whitelist them? That sort of thing.

Basically, I’m not worried about me having issues but I’m worried about a maintenance headache if friends and family can’t access things.

    … All you had to do is create a group in the pihole, set it to bypass the filters using a ‘*’ whitelist entry, then assign any devices you want to bypass pihole to that group.

      That person is suspicious that the rogue device without adblocking is going to poison the whole network.

      I won’t speak to the wisdom of that, but I’m going to imagine that’s what the issue with your suggestion is.
